I don't know about drunk/bogan-proof, but the machine hooked up to my
stereo for my 21st ran MPD (http://www.musicpd.org/) for the music and
PHPMP (http://www.musicpd.org/phpMp.shtml) (there's a PHPMP2
(http://www.musicpd.org/phpMp2.shtml), never tried it, though).
It worked quite well for me, but I didn't need to drunk/bogan test it.
It's not exactly what you want, but it might give you something to hack
into shape.
